Edit: Figured it out
(F**k*n "Magic Quotes")

I've been making a ASCII/Binary converter and I've got everything working except I cant figure out how to get rid of the escape back slashes from the form input...

Example input:
Why does it do "this"
What it outputs:
Why does it do "this"

You can view it online here Binary converter

and here is the source to my page. I'm kind of new at this so I'm sure it's not the cleanest or most efficient code... Please critique the techniques I used if theres something better.
